Hey, I just caught a Bagon (male, that took f o r e v e r) and I would like a noce moveset for Salamence. This is so that I know what to delete and keep and teach him in the future. So for I have:

SALAMENCE @ NOTHING
HEADBUTT
FOCUS ENERGY
EMBER
DRAGON CLAW


Thanks for any input!

Dragon Dance increases your attack and speed by 1 stage. Rest is a good idea. And Brick Break to take care of ice types.

you shouldnt be worried about ice types, just ice moves... really...

and you shoudlnt leave him in against a stabd 4x weakness anywhos... esspecially when you have 85 bp... well look at it this way...

stabd ice beam on 4x weakness = 570 bp...
brick break on 2x weakness unstabd = 170 bp...

you wanna do that match-up? quake/d-edge is more evrsatile imo...

Brick Break is 70 power, actually. That doesn't exactly help your cause, but meh. =[

And use Return/Frustration if you're using a Normal attack. Double-Edge is nice, but since it's been changed to 1/3 recoil in RuSa, it's not as viable a choice as before without the good ol' Rock Head.

Whats the nature of your Salamence?

A typical ddmence is dragon dance, dragon claw, earthquake, rock slide/stone edge. Dragon claw for stab, earthquake/rock slide for fairly good type coverage. However, this set is somewhat walled by skarmory, who can just whirlwind you away.
